| "Then Iyyov raised his voice and said:", | |
| "\tTrue, you are the people [and its princes] and wisdom will perish with you.", | |
| "\t[But] I, too, have a heart as you do. I am not lesser than you; and who does not [know these things just] as these [i.e., just as you do]?", | |
| "\tI am [one] who has become a laughingstock to his friend, and calls out to G d, who answers him [(that in return for this He will give him)] the true laughter of the righteous one.", | |
| "\t[(And I also know, just as you, that)] the torch of [the] shame [of Gehinnom awaits] him who is at ease in [his] thoughts, [saying: \"I shall be at peace,\" and that] he is prepared [to join the ranks of] \"those whose foot slips.\"", | |
| "\t[(And I also know, just as you, that for many days [until their ultimate destruction])] the tents of robbers are at peace, and those who anger G d dwell secure, [and that with all] that G d has brought [to the evildoer, the \"hour\" plays into] his hand.", | |
| "\tAsk [even] the beasts and they will teach [these things to] you, and the birds of heaven will tell you.", | |
| "\tOr speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will tell you.", | |
| "\tWho would not know by all these that the hand of the L rd has wrought this?", | |
| "\tThat in His hand is the spirit of all living things and the spirit of all mortal flesh?", | |
| "\tWill not the ear [which hears what He has wrought] not discern [the implications of these] words just as the palate tastes food?", | |
| "\tThere is wisdom in the old and understanding in the long-lived", | |
| "\t[to know that] with Him is wisdom and strength; with Him is counsel and understanding.", | |
| "\tWhen He destroys, none can rebuild. When He imprisons a man, none can free him.", | |
| "\tWhen He holds back the waters, the land is dry; when He sends them forth [(as He did in the generation of Enosh, when He flooded a third of the world)], they overturn the earth.", | |
| "\tHe is the source of strength and weakness. His is the strayer and the one who causes [men] to stray [i.e., the Satan].", | |
| "\tHe leads counselors into folly and makes judges foolish.", | |
| "\tHe unties the bonds of kings [e.g., Nevuchadnezzar] just as He buckles the belt on their thighs [(to \"gird\" them into kingship)].", | |
| "\tHe leads princes away with folly and twists the mighty.", | |
| "\tHe [sometimes] removes speech [even] from the faithful [(viz., e.g., Genesis 15:6, followed by 8] and takes the acumen of the elders.", | |
| "\tHe spills contempt upon the lordly and loosens the buckler of the mighty.", | |
| "\tHe reveals [to man] what is profounder than darkness and brings shadows to light.", | |
| "\tHe raises nations and destroys them [(through their pride)], spreads nations out [(over the earth)] and leads them [(into exile)].", | |
| "\tHe removes the wisdom of the leaders of the people, and they lead them into a void that is not a path.", | |
| "\tThey feel in the darkness and not in light and He leads them astray as drunkards.\n" | |
